Paphos International airport has come the top of the major European airports. Hermes Airports spokesman Adam Aspris told the Paphos Post that in a poll held by Thomson Airways, their passengers ranked Pafos International Airport as the first major airport of Europe.

The poll concerned all airports used in the Thomson Airways network during the 2009 summer period. More than one-quarter of passengers who use the airport are customers of Thomson.

Paphos Airport received the highest percentage of votes and was chosen as the airport, which leaves the most favourable impression on travellers and at the same time offers exceptional service to the travelling public. “This is the first time that an airport of the Cyprus Republic has occupied such an honoured position and has been awarded “Best Resort Airport in Europe” by the travelling public”, said Aspris.

The multi-million-euro airport has been opened for just over a year and deals with thousands of passengers on a daily basis.
